Abstract
Researches the physiology connectivity of clumps of Schizachyrium scoparium. This species is physiologically interconnected to individual ramet sequences of up to three connected generations rather than connected to all ramets with the clone. Predicting the effects of climate change on the growth of this species is difficult partly because the response may vary at the ramet, clone, and population levels.Suggested Citation
